re: Old man shoots Uber driver

I still don’t understand why the scammer sent a Uber to the old man house. It says the scammer asked for a wire transfer. The old man refused. I could understand if the scammer asked for cash or something. Also the Uber was in Ohio, the scammer allegedly was in Canada . So in the scammers mind, what was the point of the Uber ?

A lot of it is all over the place. He did say they asked for a wire transfer, but I guess it’s possible they thought they could try to get cash. The scammers may have been lost in translation. The Canada thing could be a manipulated location.

I am interested where the Uber was set to go after the potential pickup. That is really what I want to know. Unless at this point the scammer was just screwing with the guy.

The other part that makes no sense is the scammer said the guy’s family member was in jail and they wanted money to bail them out or else they would hurt his family.

I mean how does that begin to make any sense?
